In final tallies of the 2024 presidential election, Downey and other largely Latino working-class cities in Southeast L.A. County saw big shifts in support of Trump.
A surge of migrants at the border. President Biden's debate performance. High interest rates. Phillip can tick off the reasons he voted for President-elect Donald Trump. But that doesn't mean the first-generation Mexican American is a full-throated Republican. And he sure doesn't want his neighbors knowing how he voted. 'Downey is a small community,' he said while walking with his wife and two dogs at dusk along a quiet street of lush lawns and wide, flat streets.
An initiative that would have imposed harsher penalties for drug possession won and another that would have increased the state minimum wage failed. Voters rejected efforts to end forced prison labor and to allow stronger rent control laws. But the vitriol that Trump elicits has created an environment of self-suppression in cities that still have a large Democratic contingent.
